You’ll also appreciate the 2.4GHz wireless connectivity, allowing you to control your system from up to 33 feet away.

Simply plug in the USB RF receiver and you’re set. Add wireless convenience to your living room HTPC or boardroom presentation today!
Pros: Small, relatively silent, lightweight, easy to handle, great range, well designed and put together (not cheap feeling), everything is in the right place (ctrl, fn & del keys, etc.) & buttons have good feel.
Cons: Scroll wheel is up and down only - no side to side. no trigger style buttons (like the ADESSO WKB-3000UB - see other thoughts). Trackball could be bigger, heavier and tighter as it feels loose.
Other Thoughts: I have both this keyboard and the similar ADESSO WKB-3000UB. This one is definitely better. The Adesso is a bit larger and heavier and it's range is shorter and it frequently misses keystrokes. Only benefit to the Adesso is its trigger buttons..

Great buy, poor service

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Great keyboard. Great price. Love the feel of it and the option to change the sensitivity of the mouse with just a push of a button.
Cons: Came with two letter V's and missing the C. I called IOGear and asked them to send me the C key but after being on hold for about 45 minutes they refused to do it and said I would have to ship the whole keyboard back. Which costs me or Newegg time and money so I will probably just cover up the letter V and write a C on it.
Other Thoughts: Newegg is a great company and they would probably take care of everything for me but it isn't Newegg's problem it is IOGear. It can't be that hard to mail a key to me.
Manufacturer Response:Thank you for choosing IOGEAR and we are glad that you love our keyboard. Sorry to hear that you have a keyboard with 2 Vs and no C. We do understand your concern about all the time and shipping cost to send a keyboard back and forward, therefore, we will send you a C key so you can replace it with the extra V. Please contact our tech support with your ticket number via email at support@iogear.com and we would definitely help you complete the request. Once again thank you for choosing IOGEAR and sorry about the inconvenience.

Did you?
Pros: This is a great keyboard. I have been testing keyboards for a home entertainment computer. This one performs better than some of the 70-100 dollor keyboards. The range is the same as any other 2.4ghz keyboard out there (about 10meters). The track ball is the best way to navigate the screen i have seen. Dont get joystick mice. The keys all work as expected.
Cons: I really dont see why some people give bad reviews on cheap items that work as advertised. It is cheap this is the only con. It may fall appart on you or stop responding at times, but this is the same as any other more expensive unit out there.
Other Thoughts: If you want a cheap wireless keyboard this is your best bet.

Don't Buy
Reviewed By: Power User on 2/7/2010
Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Good range, light weight.
Cons: Trackball fits REAL loose in the socket. Already it is getting sticky. It stops rolling and you have to roll backwards to go forward. No way to clean the trackball?
Other Thoughts: Unless you work in a cleanroom this keyboard is going to give you fits. With the 1/16 in gap all around. I don't see it lasting very long.
Manufacturer Response:Thank you for choosing IOGEAR and sorry about your experience. The cursor should not go the opposite direction of what you roll the trackball, if you do, you might have a bad unit. Since this unit is backed by IOGEAR’s 3 year warranty, please feel free to contact our tech support at 1(866)946-4327 and we would be glad to assist you. Once again, thank you for choosing IOGEAR.

Pros: This is one of the best that I could find for the price. As far as the trackball goes... I think it works good. Sure it loose, but you don't want it tight were its a pain to move it. 3-year warranty.
Cons: Got a nick in it...
Other Thoughts: Good range 30 ft through 3 walls
